my point about mentioning those bands was that this is not the ultimate reunion, like so many people are hollering. it's like the pixies reunion all over again, like the end of the world or something. and the j&mc, as much as i like the music, i would never be as interested in seeing them live since they are cunts who think they are making everyone a favor by playing live and who would probably stage a whole brotherly fight everynight because that's what the "fans" want to see.
band reunions are not musical, they are either nostalgia trips or...i was going to say something like "for people who didn't get the chance to see them..." but that's not either, it's either nostalgia or borrowed nostalgia of some golden age rock scribes have sold us. you don't have reunions to have good music, you have reunions to listen to a band play for the millionth time their hits, like a tribute band of their own selves like glice or porky said earlier.
i have enjoyed plenty of reunions, but can't see myself tearing up inside for one. i would be interested in seeing a band that has possibilities of getting back to the original feeling or at least their original sound.
i, for once, would go see the mary chain just for the sake of listening to the reid bros. play "just like honey" and that alone.
ps: i meant yamamoto and hira returning to the band, by the boredoms reuniting.
pps: the obliterati is god waful, one of the worst albums of last year.
